LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO MAKE TRANSACTIONS. If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account on time and in a correct amount according to our agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance:

If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account to make the transaction.

If you have an overdraft line, and the transaction would go over the credit limit.

If circumstances beyond our control such as interruption of telecommunication service, catastrophic or emergency conditions, or a natural disaster (such as a fire or flood) prevent the transaction, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.

If the funds are subject to legal process or other encumbrance restricting the transaction.

There may be other exceptions stated in our account agreement with you.

Except as expressly required by this Agreement or otherwise required by law, we will not be liable for any losses or damages resulting from deficiencies in your computer hardware or software or in your ability or care in using them, or problems relating to your access to the internet.

As explained in our separate privacy disclosure.

UNAUTHORIZED ELECTRONIC TRANSFERS

Consumer Liability (Consumers Only). Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your NetConnect Internet Banking user ID, password, or other means of accessing your accounts has been lost or stolen or discovered by an unauthorized person, or if you believe that an electronic fund transfer has been made without your permission. The best way to minimize your loss is to call us immediately. The unauthorized use of your NetConnect Internet Banking user ID, password, or other means of accessing your accounts could cause you to lose all the money in your accounts plus any amounts available under your lines of credit.

If you tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss, theft or discovery by an unauthorized person of your Internet Banking user ID, password, or other means of accessing your accounts, you can lose no more than $50 if someone uses your NetConnect Internet Banking user ID, password, or other means of accessing your accounts without your permission.

If you do NOT tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss, theft or discovery by an unauthorized person of your NetConnect Internet Banking user ID, password, or other means of accessing your accounts, and we prove we could have stopped someone from using your NetConnect Internet Banking user ID, password, or other means of accessing your accounts without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.

Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed to you or was provided electronically if you consented to receiving the statement that way, you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time.

If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods for a reasonable period.

When you give someone your NetConnect Internet Banking user ID, password, or other means of accessing your accounts, you are authorizing that person to access and use your Internet Banking Services, and you are responsible for all transactions that person performs while using your Internet Banking Services. All transactions that a person performs, even those transactions you did not intend or want performed, are authorized transactions. If you notify us that the person is no longer authorized, then only transactions that person performs after the time you notify us are considered unauthorized.

Error Resolution Notice (Consumers Only). In case of errors or questions about your electronic transfers, call or write us at the telephone number or address listed below, as soon as you can, if you think your statement or receipt is wrong or if you need more information about a transfer listed on the statement or receipt. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent you, or provided electronically to you if you consented to receive that way, the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared.

Tell us your name and account number (if any).

Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information.

Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.

If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 business days.

We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days (20 business days if the transfer involved a new account) after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days (90 days if the transfer involved a new account, a point of sale transaction, or a foreign-initiated transfer) to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within 10 business days (20 business days if the transfer involved a new account) for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your question or complaint in writing and we do not receive it within 10 business days, we may not credit your account. Your account is considered a new account for the first 30 days after the first deposit is made, unless each of you already has an established account with us before this account is opened.

We will tell you the results within three business days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.

By accepting this Agreement, you acknowledge that American State Bank & Trust Company has commercially reasonable online banking security measures in place, but that no security measures can be all inclusive or foolproof for preventing unauthorized or fraudulent transactions, theft, or account takeover through online banking.

You further acknowledge your responsibility to reconcile your accounts on a daily basis and notify us immediately in the event a discrepancy is identified. Business accounts are not covered under Regulation E or any other consumer law limiting liability with respect to unauthorized use of Internet Banking Services. In addition, the resolution process for business customers differs from that identified above for consumer customers. Business customers are required to notify us within one business day of unauthorized activity. Notification of unauthorized activity does not guarantee a recovery of any loss incurred. Upon proper notification, the bank will proceed with the investigation process and advise you of the results of its investigation.

You agree that we may send notices and other communications, including confirmation of your NetConnect Internet Banking user ID, password, or other means of accessing your accounts, to the current address shown in our records, whether or not that address includes a designation for delivery to the attention of any particular individual. You further agree that we will not be responsible or liable to you in any way if information is intercepted by an unauthorized person, either in transit or at your place of business. You agree to: 1) keep your NetConnect Internet Banking user ID, password, or other means of accessing your accounts secure and strictly confidential, providing it only to authorized signers on your account(s); 2) instruct each person to whom you give your NetConnect Internet Banking user ID, password, or other means of accessing your accounts that he or she is not to disclose it to any unauthorized person; and 3) immediately notify us and select a new NetConnect Internet Banking user ID, password, or other means of accessing your accounts if you believe your NetConnect Internet Banking user ID, password, or other means of accessing your accounts may have become known to an unauthorized person. We will have no liability to you for any unauthorized payment or transfer made using your NetConnect Internet Banking user ID, password, or other means of accessing your accounts that occurs before you have notified us of possible unauthorized use and we have had a reasonable opportunity to act on that notice. We may suspend or cancel your NetConnect Internet Banking user ID, password, or other means of accessing your accounts even without receiving such notice from you, if we suspect your NetConnect Internet Banking user ID, password, or other means of accessing your accounts is being used in an unauthorized or fraudulent manner.
